Encino Reservoir
Los Angeles County, United States
The Encino Reservoir, is a controlled lake created by the damming of Encino creek. It is located near the Encino neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley, California. With construction completed in 1924, it is owned by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). The Encino reservoir no longer provides drinking water to the population. However, it is kept open for other uses. The reservoir stores water which can be used to maintain supply through the Los Angeles aqueduct. It also helps to regulate the use of water for irrigation in the summer months. The reservoir was a source of water used for firefighting during the 2025 Palisades Fire.
